What this is

ITHub Technology publishes articles on AI tools, cybersecurity threats, and open-source software. The goal is practical: cover topics that matter to developers, security practitioners, and technically curious readers with enough specificity to be useful — not just a headline and three paragraphs of background.

We don't run sponsored content, and we don't write articles because they rank well. The test we apply before publishing something is whether a senior practitioner in the relevant field would find it worth their time — and whether the information is accurate enough that they wouldn't feel embarrassed sharing it with colleagues.

We're small — a few contributors writing in areas they actually work in. Articles get updated when the underlying facts change.

Who writes here

Marcus Holt
Marcus Holt
AI & Infrastructure

Marcus spent six years at a cloud infrastructure company working on ML platform tooling — mostly the unglamorous parts, like compute scheduling and cost attribution. He left in 2023 to write about AI infrastructure more openly than he could from inside a company with a product to sell. He focuses on LLM deployment, model serving, and the economics of AI at scale.

Henrik Drath
Henrik Drath
Cybersecurity

Henrik spent eight years doing penetration testing for mid-sized financial firms and insurance companies, then moved into incident response consulting for two years after that. She writes about security with an emphasis on what actually happens in practice rather than what security vendors say happens. She's skeptical of statistics that can't be traced to a specific methodology.

Tom Calvert
Tom Calvert
Open Source & Dev Tooling

Tom has worked as a software engineer at startups and as a contractor for larger organizations, maintaining open source libraries for most of that time. He got interested in supply chain security specifically after dealing with a compromised dependency in a production system in 2022 — an experience that made the abstract risk concrete. He covers open source governance, tooling, and security.

Why we built this

The direct reason is frustration with how most technology coverage works. The publication model that supports most tech journalism — advertising, affiliate revenue, vendor briefings — creates incentives that don't align with accurate information. Articles get written to rank for search queries, not because a topic needs covering. Security content gets inflated with FUD because alarming statistics drive more traffic than nuanced analysis.

Henrik had been maintaining a private document of security notes she'd share with clients who wanted to understand a topic properly — not the vendor-framing version, the actual version. That document grew for a few years before she started thinking about whether it was worth publishing properly.

Marcus was running into the same issue from the other direction: trying to figure out which LLM deployment decisions actually mattered and which were cargo-culted from blog posts written by people who hadn't tried to run these systems at production scale.

ITHub Technology started as a place to put information we'd want to exist. It's still that. We don't have a roadmap or a funding target — just a loose commitment to publishing things we've actually verified and wouldn't be embarrassed to defend in detail.
